Even though most students
are off this summer, big changes are happening for the Fond du Lac and West
Bend campuses. Staff and faculty have been working hard to move two programs, Building Trades Construction Worker and Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Technology (HVAC/R) to the West Bend campus and set up for the new paramedic
lab in Fond du Lac.
Bringing the two programs
to join the Electricity program at West Bend will allow students in the three
programs to work together as if they were on an actual jobsite. In addition to
the new labs, construction crews have been working all summer to complete the
new practice home that will be used as a lab for all three programs now
available in West Bend. The new practice home will be completed in October.  |

I am very excited about
the opportunities these new additions will bring for our students. The new
practice home will give students the chance to practice on-the-job skills with
the guidance of their instructors.

If you’re wondering what
will become of some of vacated program space at the Fond du Lac campus -- it will
be converted to a state-of-the-art paramedic lab. Moraine Park will be the
first school in the Fox Valley to have an indoor paramedic’s lab equipped with
an ambulance. This will give paramedic students the rare opportunity to
practice the high-stress tasks they must perform on a daily basis.
If you or anyone you know
is interested in these programs, there are still openings available for fall.
Classes begin Monday, August 26, I encourage you to come in and get signed up
as soon as possible!
It is safe to say that
there is never a dull moment here—even in the summer. Thank you again for
